Answer the following questions (without looking up the answers!) in a document. Don't worry if you are wrong, just answer the questions as completely as you can.
What makes up DNA?
What does DNA look like?
What controls when a cell needs to divide?
Put the answers to these questions in paragraph form on your blog. Title it DNA introduction and tag it DNA.
In pairs, research the following scientists to determine their work, their experiments, contributions, and what is now understood about DNA, DNA replication, and/or our understanding of DNA and heredity.
Watson and Crick
Frederick Griffith
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase
Rosalind Franklin
Gregor Mendel
Walter Sutton
Craig Venter and Francis Collins
Thomas Hunt Morgan
Arthur Kornberg
Beadle and Tatum
Barbara McClintock
Edwin Chargaff
What is in the liquid in the small plastic tube (vial)?
Can DNA be seen under a microscope?
What procedure are we going to use to measure the DNA strands? What other molecules can be measured with the same procedure?
What is the purpose of the gel?
How do we make the DNA move during the procedure?
Describe the difference between how far the short and long strands of the DNA move?
Since DNA is colorless, how do we make it visible? How does the DNA appear now?
What are the 5 steps of gel electrophoresis?
When we hook up the red and black cords, which color is closest to the wells that hold the DNA?
Is the DNA positive or negative in charge?
DNA discussion
Through our class discussion we will answer the following:
Why is DNA replication important?
How has our understanding of DNA changed?
Why study DNA?
Mitosis/cell cycle Introduction
Through our class discussion we will answer the following:
Describe the process, advantages/disadvantages, and examples of organisms that reproduce by the following:
Binary Fission
Budding
Spores
Regeneration
Vegetative propagation
Cloning
Making a model:
Create and post a digital image(s) of the processes of protein synthesis. You can use any program online or on your computer. Online ones include mywebspiration, cacoo, and others. Be sure to upload or embed the image so it can be seen. This will serve as a series of visuals and text from which you can study from. Reflect on what you have learned and what you now understand better from having finished the activity.

Quick view of scientists to know
Link to 1st pd powerpoint: Sign in to google docs and then click the link. It should be added to your documents. Be sure to find the slide with your scientist AND ADD MORE SLIDES BENEATH THAT ONE. Decide how to organize the information. Be sure to place your name on slides you create. Include references.
